They are certainly making me wish I had picked up a copy at the Beat show rather than wait for this.

They are certainly making me wish I had picked up a copy at the Beat show rather than wait for this.

And it's It's still a good album, just a change in my purchasing model.

I reached to out to Flatiron Recordings and received a reply today that the discs will ship around Nov 20.

 

[Horbus]

I really had forgotten about my order until I saw this thread again. Mine should have been shipped on Sept. 17th and delivered by Oct. 29th according to their confirmation mail. So I checked the website again for my order and now it says shipping by Nov. 17th and delivering on Dec. 29th the latest

I just got this email:

 

[svengaleekie]

I've just got notification that mine has shipped.

Same here. Good timing. I was actually just streaming it to prepare for a phone interview I'll be doing with him later this week. Really looking foward to it. I've met him a few times in the past. He's an incredibly nice guy and always a joy to talk to.

 

[Marplot]

Yeah, he and CGT went out to dinner with a bunch of my friends once while I was out of town.
I got a nice and cheeky signed napkin, 'sorry we missied you, Tony'

I've just got notification that mine has shipped.

Same here though no tracking number despite the email saying no tracking number only for international orders. Though its shipping from, well, my city, so I’m sure I’ll have it by Saturday or so

 

[Steve Bruzonsky]

Just got my shipping notice as well

MINE SAID IT SHIPPED TODAY BUT THAT IT WILL TAKE TIL JAN.???

Estimated to arrive no later than January 1, 2025.

I.E: bandcamp’s default window for their estimation of delivery. They set it about 2 months out to prevent people from pinging Bandcamp about late deliveries. If for some reason you don’t get it by then *then* Bandcamp lets you delve into support.

I had to do this once so I learned the process. Ordered a Future Sound of London vinyl from their Bandcamp, had smooth orders from them in the past but this one just never arrived. The Bandcamp order backend doesn’t let you send an official complaint until that “no later than” date hits. Sent a letter and two weeks later it showed up.

Tony!, multi-channel, multi-channel, immersive... Atmos

 

[CINERAMAX]

I've not received any emails about these delays and decided to check on the site for an update. Dec 29th.

I feel sorry for Tony Levin, who I guess must be getting pushed to the back of the production queue the whole time, but since I first purchased this I now have Tidal, which is helping me to cut back on my heretofore many Atmos/surround purchases to those I really am regarding as 'must own' (such as the new PT FoaBP and JT's Xmas album, interestingly both in ye olde classic 5.1). So I have gone ahead and cancelled this one (which is on Tidal). I sent the label a polite request and they refunded immediately. Nice guys.

JT xmas is delayed to Dec. 20.

I just got mine, it came from Spain to the UK.
The first thing I notice is that the track name does not change as the music progresses through the album, I'm on track 9 here in the picture while the screen shows track 3 (even though it says "NOW PLAYING") where I started it from in the tracklist investigating what was going on. I have to use the 'display' button on the remote to see which track is playing (Sony)
The Atmos is pretty good on this, front oriented as you may expect for the style but definitely from all around, vocals and instruments forming a nice bubble on certain tracks and separate on others.

My oppo 205 does that all the time, I believe it's my player and not necessarily the discs, others can chime it about that though.

some massive sounding Bass on this one - Espressoville

Same here, arrived yesterday from Spain. The sound and mixes are really great but its frustrating that the screen menu does not work properly. "Now playing" track does not continue to refresh when the next track starts so you don't know which track you are listening too. Such a shame.
